I'm not so certain that layoffs are done. It feels more like the management needed a day or two to see how things are looking before continuing. In addition, only limited areas were hit this time, and I doubt that is the final goal. I think we'll see... — read more 

With the size of the workforce at VZ, have you ever wondered if a few employees go unaccounted for? I read an article about an employee of a large company that existed on the payroll of a company for 37 years. This person was not accountable for... — read more

Someone keeps posting that those who just got RIF’d will have a “Do Not Rehire” designation added to their files, can someone confirm if that is true for those involuntarily RIF’d? I know this was true for those who accepted VSP back in 2018-19. — read more 

Does anyone know if we can ask for more? Do we have the right to say this isn’t enough severance? I would like to suck more more from them as they have done to me for years?

A lot of people are saying VZ could be targeted by hedge funds as a buyout who then break it up as the value of parts being greater than its mismanaged over leveraged whole. Personally, I don’t buy this since VZ long ago sold off all its real... — read more

I was one if thr unlucky ones this week. I was always one of the top performers in every NOC I worked in at Verizon. I seen a lot of other people let go that was at the top of their game. If Verizon ever gets their head out of their a-s and win some... — read more 

Those who get laid off with a severance are the lucky ones. Verizon is a sinking ship that has been led astray by poor management, bad decisions, and years of brain drain leaving the company a shell of its former self. Future changes will only make... — read more

You guys wanted the stock to rise! All it took were some layoffs. I’m wondering if the Valhalla people have an opinion on this?

500 people in a SINGLE location is a high bar. VZ can inflict serious damage to staffing and not come close to triggering a mandatory notice. I don’t know where this 2% number comes from, but it is averaging in a LOT of groups who did not receive... — read more

This is how Pathetic we look next to Tmobile T-Mobile said it added 854,000 postpaid phone subscribers vs. estimates of 739,000. In the third quarter, AT&T (T) added 708,000 phone subscribers while Verizon Communications (VZ) added 8,000 on a... — read more
